33 Stephen, in this chapter, refers to God's dealings with
His people, in support of his argument that God s favour has never been
limited to one particular place. He glances cursorily at the sacred records,
paraphrasti-cally, but does aot quote literally (see next Table).
Get thee out of thy country....

The whole of this book is a reflex of the prophetic visions of the Old Testament.
It contains pictures of that heavenly form of worship, divinely manifested to
Moses (of which the Tabernacle ritual was only a pattern), reproduced, and
further developed, by its fulfilment in the atonement of Christ; while it also
repeats the mysterious predictions, uttered by Isaiah, Ezekiel, Daniel,
pourtraying the philosophy of history, the recurrence of its cycles, and
the supremacy over all other powers of the kingdom of Christ. It is, therefore,
full of references and allusions to the writings of Moses and the prophets,
too numerous (and often allusive rather than literal) to be tabulated; but
the marginal references will better aid the reader in working out the connection
between this Revelation, which closes Holy Scripture, and the inspirations
vouchsafed to the earlier dispensation, which prepared the way for the
fulness of the glory of Christ.
